Cable internet connections only communicates at 10 megabits per second

[mofo_mofo]

I wanted to kno why Cable internet connections only communicates at 10 megabits per second. I have read many fourms and websites and I have always seen people saying that cable is faster then dsl since it bandwith is at 10-mbit, but the coaxial cables that carry sigals are capable of achieving higher then 10-mbit, so why are you only givin 10mbit

As per definition of Broadband, you dont need to be at that level. Yea, coaxial can carry more but, companies need to share bandwidth with other users. And by definition....they only need to give you around 1mbit of bandwidth to be considered broadband. I know that in my area, 3.3 is about the average.
